ND:CE:YAG CRYSTAL FUNDAMENTALS EXPLAINED

Pumping at 460 nm was produced possible because of the Ce 3 + co-dopant that allows transfer of excitations around to Nd three + ions during the YAG lattice. Comparison of these two pumping strategies has permitted for an intensive Evaluation in the performance and effectiveness of this laser program. QCW output energies as substantial as 18 mJ/pul
